Is the Subaru B9 Tribeca a good car?
Although it provides pleasant, all-weather capable transportation, the 2009 Subaru Tribeca is generally outclassed in terms of space, comfort and, at times, price. When it debuted three years ago, the Subaru B9 Tribeca seemed like your typical offbeat Subaru. Oftentimes, being different is good — nothing wrong with a little individuality, right?
What’s the horsepower of a new Subaru Tribeca?
The new engine makes 256 horsepower, which is a modest increase over the previous engine’s 245 hp, and a more substantial increase in torque to 247 pounds-feet (up from 215 pounds-feet). As with all Subarus, all-wheel drive is standard. The previous B9 Tribeca, while not underpowered, wasn’t especially quick.
How much cargo space does a Subaru Tribeca have?
Five-person Tribecas have 37.6 cubic feet of cargo room, and folding the backseat flat raises the total to 74.4 cubic feet. The seven-seat Tribeca has only 8.3 cubic feet of space behind the third row, which can fold flat into the floor when not in use. More important, the Tribeca has a low floor, which makes it easier to load luggage into it.
Do you need all wheel drive for a Subaru Tribeca?
If you need room for seven adults, the Tribeca’s child-sized third-row seat falls short. Those who don’t need all-wheel drive can save money by shopping one of the Tribeca’s less expensive front-wheel-drive competitors. What’s New? There are no major changes for the 2009 Subaru Tribeca.
What kind of fuel economy does a Subaru Tribeca get?
The revisions allow the upgraded engine in the 2009 Subaru Tribeca to deliver better fuel economy, of 16 mpg city, 21 highway, and run on regular unleaded fuel rather than the previous generation’s super unleaded requirement.
What’s the ground clearance on a Subaru Tribeca?
Last year’s revised rear suspension carries over for 2009, helping improve handling while yielding an impressive 8.4 inches of ground clearance. This optional feature allows the driver to see objects down low and directly behind the vehicle. It’s available only on the Limited Trim.
